Manager hails French winger as ‘signing of the season’
‘The great thing about him is he just loves playing football’

Steve Bruce has hailed Allan Saint-Maximin as the Premier League’s signing of the season. The gifted French winger is lighting up England’s top tier after joining Newcastle United for what, with hindsight, looks a bargain £16.5m from Nice last summer.

“I wouldn’t put a price on Allan now,” said Bruce. “When you look at the level of money we bought him for, he’s arguably the best pound-for-pound signing in the Premier League. You show me another better. When you look at what he’s produced for us, we have probably got the buy of the season. He’s blessed with unique skills, which he’s got in abundance.”
